T82.03 is the authoritative medical code for Leakage of heart valve prosthesis. This classification is used in medical billing and clinical recording to specify the clinical criteria for leakage of heart valve prosthesis (ICD-10-CM T82.03), ensuring healthcare documentation aligns with 2026 federal coding standards.
Billing Status: NO. This is a clinician non-billable / parent hierarchy grouping in the ICD-10-CM system.
Official Registry Overview & Definition
Leakage of heart valve prosthesis is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code T82.03. A more specific billable subcode must be selected for claims submission. Excludes1 (not coded here): mechanical complication of biological heart valve graft T82.22-. Excludes2 (not included here): failure and rejection of transplanted organs and tissue T86.-; any encounters with medical care for postprocedural conditions in which no complications are present, such as:; artificial opening status Z93.-; closure of external stoma Z43.-; fitting and adjustment of external prosthetic device Z44.-; burns and corrosions from local applications and irradiation T20-T32; complications of surgical procedures during pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium O00-O9A; mechanical complication of respirator ventilator; poisoning and toxic effects of drugs and chemicals (T36-T65 with fifth or sixth character 1-4 or 6); postprocedural fever R50.82; specified complications classified elsewhere, such as:; cerebrospinal fluid leak from spinal puncture G97.0; colostomy malfunction K94.0-; disorders of fluid and electrolyte imbalance E86-E87; functional disturbances following cardiac surgery I97.0-I97.1; intraoperative and postprocedural complications of specified body systems (D78.-, E36.-, E89.-, G97.3-, G97.4, H59.3-, H59.-, H95.2-, H95.3, I97.4-, I97.5, J95.6-, J95.7, K91.6-, L76.-, M96.-, N99.-); ostomy complications (J95.0-, K94.-, N99.5-); postgastric surgery syndromes K91.1; postlaminectomy syndrome NEC M96.1; postmastectomy lymphedema syndrome I97.2; postsurgical blind-loop syndrome K91.2; ventilator associated pneumonia J95.851. 7th character: The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T82.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) & Clinical Guidance
Can T82.03 be billed directly?
No. T82.03 (Leakage of heart valve prosthesis) is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code. A more specific billable subcode must be selected based on clinical documentation.
Does T82.03 require a 7th character?
Yes. The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T82.
What can't be coded together with T82.03?
Per Excludes1 instructions, T82.03 must not be reported with: mechanical complication of biological heart valve graft (T82.22-).
Can T82.03 be reported alongside related conditions?
Per Excludes2 instructions, T82.03 and the following may both be reported when both are present: failure and rejection of transplanted organs and tissue (T86.-); any encounters with medical care for postprocedural conditions in which no complications are present, such as:; artificial opening status (Z93.-); closure of external stoma (Z43.-).
